219 (182) Newmarket Road

History of 219 Newmarket Road

1841:

It was in Esther Price’s house that the first Mass was said in Cambridge since 1688. This event, in a small upper chamber in Barnwell was a significant turning point in the Roman Catholic Mission to Cambridge. After her death, Canon Quinlivan requested the attendance of all the congregation at the Requiem Mass, stressing that her benevolence was an important part of the Mission’s heritage. (Catholics in Cambridge ed. Nicholas Rogers p.91)
